When looking for a one bedroom living space, you’ll typically come across condos, studios, or apartments, as single family homes of that size are a rare find indeed. Lucky for you, one of these unicorns has finally come to market.

Built in 1921, this very charming cottage is asking $449,000 — about what you’d pay for a decent 2 bedroom condo in Echo Park — but for that you get your own lot, a spacious deck, mature fauna, and though it lists as a 1 bedroom, 1 bath, there is also a small office that could double as a small second bedroom.

The French doors located in the living/dining area and the bedroom are both flanked by said large deck that allows for simple indoor/outdoor living and great airflow throughout — which should hopefully offset the lack of A/C.

With such a cozy living area, most of the entertaining will have to be done outdoors. Shucks.

That last part is far from a complaint as the deck is both user-friendly and private. You’d be hard pressed to find this at any condo or studio unit.

The kitchen is tastefully functional and centrally located. Newer appliances would go a long way here.

The exposed beam ceiling in the bedroom does wonders towards making the room feel bigger.

And, there are tons of creative options available for how to use a small second room such as this.

There are plenty of examples out there of small homes finding creative ways to feel large, and this is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to own, but who prefers no shared walls and a yard to garden.
